'Star Trek' (1979) – Robert Wise.

(From my limited reading on the milieu a 'Trekkie' is a zealous individual singularly resistant to thematic change, for what little it is worth, this brief, yet earnest appraisal of 'Stark Trek: The Motion Picture' is honestly written from the unbiased perspective of a 'non-Trekkie', but I readily accept that 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home' is boss!)

When my dear old Granddad initially took me to see Robert Wise's dazzling 'Star Trek', his vastly sprawling, void traversing, overtly cerebral space opera proved to be too much 'deep think' for my tiny brain to appreciate, but seen today, my no less miniscule brain sponge has grown to appreciate this baldly going tale of courageous, far-flung vintage Sci-fi wizardry, as Gene Roddenberry's immortally intrepid, starry-eyed TV voyagers take their very first tentative steps into the heady, unknown cinematic realm of the big screen cosmos! And the Blu-ray restoration is an absolutely duckie!
